The study that has been reported to show that atheists are more intelligent than the religious is probably more accurately described as saying that "more intelligent people may have less need for religion," per reporting from Kimberly Winston.

Buzzfeedposts a map of Members of the U.S. House by their religion. It correctly lists Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona as "none," but on the map page, refers to her as "atheist," which we know she doesn't like.

Someone stop Teresa MacBain from getting new jobs!!! Pastor, American Atheists, Humanists of Florida, and now she's the new director of the Humanist Community Project at Harvard University. (Seriously, though, congratulations, Teresa. Sounds like a great fit!)
